I was searching around for a map of the akarra maze, and stumbled upon this small story:

Hmm... I was playing a free MMORPG called Akarra a few years back (It is still, in my mind, the best MMORPG I've ever played.) The server had a huge chunk of down time due to the server crashing and the lead programmer setting stuff up... Something like that.
Anyway, one of the artists called TheWreck (I think he was an artist...) made this game with the Akarra sprites where you were a wizard and stood in the middle of the screen and shot lightning at an ever increasing amount of n00bs. He posted it on the Akarra forums and someone asked him how he made it and he linked to the demo of MMF1.5 on download.com. My friend who also played the game told me to download it, so I did, and proceeded to enjoy every minute of making a cruddy pong-like game. ^^
